118+
Even when installing the plugin and server on a different drive, significant space
119+
is used on the system drive (C:) during installation for temporary files and caches.
120+
If you are running out of space, you can control the locations of these files by setting environment variables:

| Cache | Default Location (Windows) | Purpose | Environment Variable |

| HuggingFace | `%USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface` | Model cache | `HF_HOME` |

| uv | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\uv\cache` | Python packages | `UV_CACHE_DIR` |
127+
| pip | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\pip\cache` | Python packages | `PIP_CACHE_DIR` |
